Congressman Jeff Van Drew, who represents New Jersey’s 2nd congressional district, posted a series of statements on December 11, 2025, addressing issues ranging from agricultural support to government surveillance and legislative ethics.
In his first post at 15:20 UTC, Van Drew expressed support for the Biden administration’s approach to American agriculture. He wrote, “.@POTUS is making sure our farmers are taken care of and have the support they need to thrive. Because when our farmers are strong, America is strong.” This message comes as debates continue in Congress over farm policy and federal assistance programs for agricultural producers.
Later that day at 18:01 UTC, Van Drew addressed concerns about government surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). He stated, “For years, federal agencies abused their authority under FISA and trampled on the privacy of American citizens. Let’s make it clear for them: get a warrant.” His remarks reflect ongoing discussions in Washington about reforming FISA to strengthen privacy protections for U.S. citizens.
At 19:59 UTC, Van Drew commented on ethical standards for lawmakers regarding access to non-public information. He said, “There’s no reason lawmakers should profit off information the public doesn’t have. Proud to join @RealAnnaPaulina on this.” The statement refers to bipartisan efforts in Congress aimed at restricting members from trading stocks or profiting based on confidential legislative knowledge.
Van Drew has served as a member of the House of Representatives since 2019 after previously holding office in New Jersey’s state legislature. His recent posts highlight his focus on rural economic development, civil liberties protections related to intelligence gathering, and legislative transparency reforms.
